Do you prefer saddle back markings or the blanket markings for a german shepherd?

I prefer the ones that are black and tan with the blanket back.

I like blanket backs more than saddle backs. The more black, the better!

The darker the better, IMO.

Agreeded the darker and more black markings the better, makes them look more primitive IMO

Personally if I had to pick I'd choose saddle back over blanket

How cute! but I would like a blanket back over a saddle back any day

. Not that I have one now, it's black, sable and bi color. But then again I love my horses too and none of them is my dream color or they would be a bay

i like both of them but i lean towards the saddle.

I've had and currently have blanket backs, but I've always love a saddle back black and red. Saddle back reds are what I have always envisioned the GSD breed is supposed to look like, and I've always dreamed of having one.

Not that I don't think my blanket back looks great, and I've recently became a huge fan of sables.

Before I got a GSD I thought I liked the saddle back best but now that I have a blanket back, I really think that color pattern is more attractive. Go figure.
